With stories of how Val Evans, Tina Mugglestone and Helen Ladell have been dealing with and reflecting on this strange period in our lives, what shines through in the newsletter is the extraordinary peace that people have been able to achieve.  Truly it is a peace that passes all understanding and although others may achieve it in various ways, for Christians it is a free gift from God.  Jesus simply offered it and left it to be taken up by all those who turned to him as the Son.  At times like these, it is easy for Christians to forget what a wonderful gift it was, available to all and aimed at taking earthly worries away.  Only believe.  That's a big "only" for many and one never knows when it will come to one.  Anyone.  Let us all hope and pray that the peace of the Lord will be with our neighbours and ourselves.  Amen.
